Out now! Our 2023–2024 Year in Review celebrates a year of progress through partnerships
Brisbane South PHN is pleased to announce the release of our 2023–2024 Year in Review, a digital-first publication showcasing the impactful achievements and partnerships that have shaped our work over the past year.
This interactive report highlights our ongoing commitment to improving health and wellbeing outcomes across the Brisbane South PHN region and beyond, through collaboration with primary health care providers, community partners, and stakeholders.
Highlights from the year
The 2023-2024 Year in Review outlines several of our key achievements, including:
- Improving access to care: The opening of 2 new Medicare Urgent Care Clinics in Logan and South Brisbane provides local communities with free, urgent care 7-days a week for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, helping to avoid unnecessary visits to the emergency department.
- Listening to community voices: 750 individuals and 30 stakeholder groups were engaged as part of the first joint regional Health Needs Assessment with Metro South Health, helping us better understand and address local health challenges across our shared region.
- Expanding mental health and family support programs: Tailored mental health services were delivered, and national leadership initiatives were undertaken to address domestic and family violence, sexual assault and child sexual abuse.
- Empowering primary care providers: Adoption of MyMedicare and Primary Sense tools by 86% and 90% of eligible practices respectively enabled improved care coordination and data-driven clinical decision-making.
- Planning for the future: The Strategic Plan 2024–27 was developed with a focus on care coordination, equity, and system resilience.
